Blood And Silver:Rise of the Alpha’s Rejected Mate Novel

Chapter 7 AURORA Dane had never kissed me before .

The only time we had sex , hed avoided it .

Now his mouth descended on mine , hard and claiming and hot .

It was so good , I closed my eyes and lost myself .

Danes mouth , his possessive hands , his hard body … it was everything Id dreamed of .

Then his words came back to me .

You will always belong to me , but I will never love you .

I bit down and shoved with all my strength .

A wolfless woman shouldnt have been able to move an Alpha as big and strong and powerful as Dane Montague , but I bit him .

hard .

Ah ! he jumped away with a hand to his mouth , and I slipped out from between him and the wall .

I couldnt let him pin me like that again .

My breath shook .

For the first time in a long time , I was flustered .

Chapter 7 I felt like Ann Reed , and I hated it .

I wasnt her .

I was Aurora .

2/6 If you touch me again without my permission , I will kill you , I hissed .

His fingers came away bloody from his mouth .

Good .

Because my wrists were red where he grabbed them .

I rubbed them .

Ann .

Id almost think you grew fangs and found your wolf while you were gone .

I was o the room was dark so he couldnt see me blush in shame .

But the shame only made me angrier .

I wished I had found my wolf .

I wished I could rip that smirk right off his face .

Not fangs .

Just a spine .

And its Aurora .

If I didnt need this smug , arrogant man , Id ask Trajan to kill him .

Why did you come back here if not for my … his eyes traveled hungrily down my body … attention ? The heat in his eyes made fire lick at my core , but my voice was ice .

Five years and youre even less of a gentleman .

He stepped in close again .

You used to beg me not to be gentle , if it meant I would claim you .

I gritted my teeth , hating all these reminders of the past .

I told you who I am .

You know why Im here .

Chapter 7 3/6 His eyes flashed .

I know why Im meeting with the DeVeres .

I know what they claim to have .

Then- All of a sudden , music chimed into the tense space between us .

My phone ! I recognized the ringtone , and my stomach went cold .

I reached into my clutch and silenced it .

Whos that ? Your new lover ? Dane asked .

None of your business .

Id lost control of this situation .

I needed to escape before he could ask more .

I wrenched open the door and walked out .

Coming had been a mistake .

I should have met him in a more controlled situation .

And I hadnt expected my body to react to his this way .

I needed to find Trajan and leave .

But as I stepped back into the main room , someone else called my name .

Ann ! Oh , my ! Its been so long ! I thought you had forgotten all about me ! My heart softened as my gaze fell on the old man who came toward me .

Connall Montague .

Danes grandfather , and one of the only people from my old life who had truly loved me and shown me kindness .

Grandpa , I said , unable to help the smile that crossed my face .

Chapter 7 I went to him and kissed him on either cheek .

I could never forget you .

He took my hand and squeezed it tightly , like he was afraid I might disappear on him again .

4/6 His worries werent unfounded .

Because as Dane came to stand with us , I wanted to disappear more than anything .

Dane glared and said , She abandoned us .

Dont be kind to her .

The old man ignored him .

Come , tell me where youve been the last five years .

I want to hear everything .

I let him lead me up onto the balcony .

It was reserved for high ranking pack members and far less crowded than the area downstairs .

There isnt much to tell , I said helplessly .

Lie .

There was everything to tell .

So much had happened to me that I couldnt even wrap my brain around it .

It would have been nice to be able to speak to Mr.

Montague like I used to , open and honest .

But Dane lurked nearby , broad shouldered and brooding , so I kept my mouth shut .

Besides , I couldnt trust Mr.

Montague to keep my secrets from his grandson .

They were too big .

Too life shattering .

Mr.

Montague tutted at me .

Id forgotten his habit of doing that , Chapter 7 and the sound was so familiar it sharpened my bittersweet emotions .

5/6 Come , dear .

Five years dont pass with nothing happening at all .

Where have you been ? I … did spend some time in Europe , I admitted reluctantly .

In fact , I have a companion downstairs .

Of course , Mr.

Montague said .

Show him to me .

I pointed out Trajan and Mr.

Montague tutted again , but this time he turned to me with genuine worry in his eyes .

Is this your husband ? Mate ? Have you really moved on from Dane ? The pain in his eyes brought back a wave of the heartbreak Id felt when I left .

It hurt so much ; it was all I could do not to press my hand against my chest .

I think its fair to move on from someone who never loved me , I said quietly .

He does love you , Mr.

Montague grumped , his old face wrinkling in consternation .

Hes blinded by his anger .

I gave him three years to see again .

He couldnt .

Love didnt treat someone the way Dane had treated me , but I didnt say that out loud .

Knowing the things Dane had said to me would only hurt his grandfather , and I didnt want to do that .

Besides , Dane was openly listening , now .

Well , Ann , have you moved on ? he asked mockingly .

I ignored him , focusing on Mr.

Montague .

Trajan is just my Chapter 7 assistant and bodyguard , I said .

Hes- 6/6 From down below , near the doorway , a woman screamed , WHY IS SHE HERE ? Evelyn Barclay had arrived
